Awesome, now I can get on Facebook and register with France as my region, so that only french people can see my profile. Makes me feel so much more secure than if Canadians or Germans could see my profile...
Don't pay attention, sometimes I have the feeling that moderators mod down only when they have no clue of what's going on, like, "What is that guy talking about? Oh fuck it, -1, Offtopic"
I'll never understand in what way Pearl Harbor is such an aweful movie with respect to all the other stereotypically hollywoodian movies. To me it's just your average big budget "average joe becomes a true american hero" movie. Maybe does it only have to do with South Park fanboyism... Just checking, do you also hate Contact for the simple fact that the alien is the girl's father?
Sometimes I really get the feeling that a lot of people think that children are growing up faster and faster from generation to generation, to the point that these people would be hardly surprised if 50 years from now most kids had sex by the time they turn 7. I hate to state the obvious, but there's not really such a thing as kids growing up faster and faster, it's only the same ramblings that adults of each generation have tirelessly repeated.
I wished one day everybody would learn from history, realize that a few things about us never change and that their opinion about younger people is just the same one as people 2,500 years ago in Greece had about younger people of the same age, but I learnt from history that people don't learn from history.
Your stepson seems to have issues that, although they are revealed by his addiction and immersion into video games, are most likely not caused by video games.
In other words, it seems that his relationship with videogames is a symptom of his issues rather than their cause.
Luckily most college CS degrees still teach assembly.
That's very right, and actually that's the main reason why I'm glad I studied CS in college (although I dropped out) just to learn about CREFTWO and 8086 ASM. This gets us an insight on how stuff really works that we hardly could have otherwise.
yeah but I wasn't even thinking about such things as car accidents, rather stuff like genocides. Yup, there are on-going genocides out here, but well, who cares damn black africans cutting each other with machetes.
Is it not important enough anymore to warrant a story?
I can't believe how even after hearing about it on TV everyday for the last 5 years, some people still don't grow tired of hearing about it.
Only 3,000 people (a bit less actually) died. While I may sound like a troll for saying "only", it's because we need to relativize, 3,000 people dying en masse is not a lot nor even exceptional compared to what happens all the time on Earth. But maybe it has to do with both happening in the USA and being very spectacular... Still, give me a break with 9/11, it's getting old, I mean I'm getting fed up.

Come on, it's about time Windows adopts IPv6. We would criticize Vista if it didn't, and as it does we criticize it for it anyways. I'm as pro-M$ as the next/.er but sometimes part of the geek crowd won't even let M$ a chance.
Well, for example, when you refer to a friend you envy for a precise in-context reason, calling him a bastard would somehow be what the GP is talking about. But that would also work for other insults, such as enculé, and undoubtfully even in other languages.
Example : "-Dude, I just had sex the Olsen twins! -You bastard!"
Also: *AA includes the MAA (Mathematical Association of America), the ADAA (Anxiety Disorders Association of America), the MSAA (Multiple Sclerosis Association of America), and the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America).
and also the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America)
Don't ask me what's my point in mentionning this because I have no fucking idea:-) have a good day!
Slashdot Mirror
YES - It works on /.
I don't fully agree, I've never voluntarily trolled as much as since I have had a maxed out karma.

I'll think about it next time I have something to sell
"This PowerMac 6500 power supply unit is hot!! A must-have for the summer!!"
Besides that, everything listed there is pretty obvious, except maybe the 8, which says not to make the auction end during the peak hour.

FTFA : "Menu editing just got even more easier."
Woot! Sounds like a lot! I also heard it was even more betterly eye-candier!
Moderators are only human ;-)
Maybe the one who did that thought it was the classic GNAA troll, or maybe do they have a problem with "the N-word"

lol, how is that flamebait, is it because I said the word nigger?

Well, on my linux installation, I have all my partitions mounted in folders called 'C:', 'D:', 'E:' ...
If we assume you made them in /, you still have to do /C: instead of just C:, right?
Or maybe can you fix that with an alias?
When I clicked the page I was so sure I would see at least one "What's in My HTML Toolbox? vi!" comment, modded Funny of course, but no...
Maybe I should check again later...
You don't get my point at all. It's not the number the problem, it's the unit. In other words : 1,048,576 != 1 MiB. 1,048,576 == 1 MiB. Got it?
It's as if you said that when you have $1,024 that's a KiB. You can call it a Ki$, nothing else. Here there is no unit.
Sounds alot like that
Some are holding out for the highly desired 1 MB (MiB; mebibyte) user id number of 1,048,576.
I'm sure you mean 2^20, because bytes, megabytes or mebibytes have absolutly nothing to do with that number.
lol of course I do. It was to point out how then for than sounds better than the other way around, which nobody ever says anyways.
damnit!
I'll never understand why people use then for than more then than for then, but than I guess the latter sounds weirder then then for than.
